Peter Foster
Having built many houses previously, I had certain requirements and qualifications in mind – quality, experience, cost, Owner/Builder compatibility and the relationship the builder had with local subcontractors and suppliers. I was introduced to Kevin Harper of Auburn Builders by the owner of a local lumber provider, with very high recommendations. We met and discussed the project and our respective needs, and Kevin and I quickly developed a good communication back and forth, so we progressed to the contract stage. The contract was not onerous as some are, and Kevin exhibited his willingness to accommodate all of my requirements and then some. Auburn’s fee structure was reasonable and we were able to agree on some Owner furnished items without a fee. All things considered, the experience was exceptionally good, the quality was unusually high and the cot was well below that of other builders. In this time of demand and exceeding supply in the contractor market along the N.W. Florida area, I would not hesitate to employ Auburn Builders and Kevin Harper on my next building project. I would enjoy speaking with any person contemplating a build about my experience.

Auburn Builders owner, Kevin Harper, did an outstanding job building our Condo in Destin, Florida several years ago. Our place is a single living detached condo with 4 bedrooms.
Although he had to follow strict regulations for the outside he was very creative with ideas for the inside. He was great staying in our budget and keeping us advised with pictures, phone calls, etc. since this was a long-distance project. If you are considering building a home in Destin, Florida …give him a call. You won’t be sorry!

Auburn Builder’s gets my highest recommendation. Quality work, on budget, and on time. And that is tough to do when you are coordinating so many subcontractors. Kevin and his team are professional and fun to work with.

Auburn Builders is always very thorough and detail-oriented with budgets, timing, paperwork, communication, etc. Mr. Harper always had me informed before I had to ask. A pleasure to work with, very respectful and considerate of time and very importantly – money. I have worked on over 10 projects with Mr. Harper and look forward to many more. As a design and CM engineer, it is a pleasure to have such a good contractor on the job! It makes the process go much more smoothly for everyone involved.

Rhonda Dossey
I am a realtor in Destin Florida, and I have worked with builders. I must say that my experience with Auburn Builders was an absolute pleasure. The home Kevin Harper built, and I sold for 4.2M was a stunning 6,000 Sq Ft beachfront home. Kevin was easy to work with and he was always available to answer questions about the construction. I can highly recommend Auburn Builders to anyone considering building a new home. If you want a quality home, and a professional to build it, then I suggest you consult Kevin Harper of Auburn Builders.
